Pressestimmen

"Readers and the jazz listening audience who enjoy Cuban music will want to own a copy of "Cuban Music from A to Z," . . . Covering the full range of dance, styles, performers, composers, and related subjects, this is a pleasing book to read at your leisure. Much, much information is given in a crisp, highly readable format. This is a must-have reference book for your Cuban section in the home library, and a nice book to have on hand for library patrons at the Public Library." --Lee Prosser, "Jazzreview.com"
